About this Add-on

Metal for Firefox, based on icons from art.gnome.org. Includes support for rmany extensions.

To change the background image do the following:Go the Firefox profile directory, and into the "Extensions" folder. (For me, this is: C:\Users\alfred\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\k0clmuvx.default-1368602453231\extensions\{81a7a680-d724-460d-aa2f-4b0d8d926fe3}\metal\)(An easy way is to search for 'bricks'' or for 'background.png')

Just replace the "background.png" with some other image (some examples are included in that directory), and restart Firefox. This can also be a JPG or PNG image, as long as the filename is "background.png". Note, animated GIF will also work, but will impact performance.

Change the font name and size of font to your liking. Metal will apply this then throughout the theme.
